Miranda Hawley's Sonnet contest
My nephew, in 2019, sat on my daughter's couch, and played his guitar as he sang "Hallelujah," a folk-rock song with its homophonic texture in the chorus. In the short video, I spot his sister, with her cool hat, and my granddaughter, both listening to his singing and playing guitar at Christmas. He suffered much, with mental illness, but at this point in time was keeping busy, running vigorous races and spending time at church. Covid hit, and many reeled from its effects, not of the illness, but the isolation. Both my nephew and a good family friend committed suicide.
